A woman is hospitalized and receives staples in her head after LAPD trampled her with their horses. LAPD also impeded her receiving medical attention.

THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION CALLS FOR A SENATE INVESTIGATION INTO RFK, JR. "The resolution’s sponsor, Dr. Jason Goldman, urged his colleagues to support the request for an investigation to ensure the AMA is not “on the wrong side of history.” chicago.suntimes.com/health/2025/...

Good morning friends ☀️☕️ I wish you a nice safe Friday and weekend! 💙😃

I told you we’d be back

Israel is bombing Iran and we're on the verge of WWIII and none of this would be happening if Donald Trump was president

“…And don’t forget to leave a mint on my pillow on your way out.”

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

BREAKING: Trump orders names restored to military bases honoring Robert E. Lee & other Confederates. Lee was INDICTED for treason. He killed US soldiers & violated his oath to the Constitution. He got away with it, like Trump Who are these Confederates? FREE friend link: medium.com/armedwithrea...

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Democratic Congress do you think its time to do something now? How many of your members are you going to allow to be abused by this administration and his goons? @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedems25.bsky.social Leaving it up to the streets is not a smart move.

Unacceptable- now we can’t speak either. Where is our democracy?

More conspiracy docs! Just what we need. Bleach for everyone!

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

#MorningVibe Voices rising and signs dancing in the sun—protests can be a celebration of unity and hope. Let laughter mixed with chants, strangers becoming allies, & joy power our call for justice. Change can be loud and full of love. Go to nokings.org to find an event near you on Sat. 6/14.

🚨 5 Alarm Fire after two critical events today: 1 - DJT told El Salvador Pres to build 5 more concentration camps because he will be sending Americans there. 2 - Administration is categorizing lawful citizens as dead which cus off social security, access to banks, and many other vital services.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Trump is erasing Washington international students from federal databases — yet another attack on the immigration system and our educational institutions. These students are vital to our communities and classrooms. We will not let them be erased. www.kuow.org/stories/the-...

Follow and amplify Dems like this. They are fighting for us but getting drowned out. @sydneykamlager.bsky.social @villaverla.bsky.social @fieldteam6.org @aoc.bsky.social @westseattleindivisible.com

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE‼️ A peaceful protest, respect on both sides with no violence!

Nice try Slanders...

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

MSNBC: ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, DC area, Seattle, and Philadelphia.

Peace ☮️ and love 💕! #BeKind

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
